KB46932: How to disable Cloud Maps when configuring ESRI Maps for MicroStrategy Web 9.4.1

Strategy Web 9.4.1 Administrators can disable cloud maps for ESRI Maps if necessary. Cloud Maps and On-Premise maps have different available features and connectivity requirements. For more information on the features refer to KB46614 "Summary of ESRI and Google Map integration feature list in MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise 9.4.1 Hotfix 2." and for connectivity requirements refer to KB46526 "What are the connection requirements and data flow for the ESRI Maps in MicroStrategy Web"
 
TO DISABLE CLOUD MAPS:

1. Strategy Web 9.4.1 administrators need to access the Strategy Web Server machine and locate the following file typically in
    
   for ASP.NET:
   
   
   

   
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Strategy\Web ASPx\WEB-INF\xml\config\esriConfig.xml

   
   
   
   for J2EE:
   
   
   

   
   $TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\Strategy\WEBINF\xml\config\esriConfig.xml
   

   
   
   
   Back up the file to preserve any changes done during this process.
    
   
2. Edit the file and search for the <webmap> node that will resemble the following:
   
   
   

   
   <webmap id="5fac74d8e7924e169afdc01105235324" default="true" />

   
   
   
   Note that the id might be different and additional parameters might be present.
   
3. Change the "default" parameter to false, resulting in the following:
   
   
   

   
   <webmap id="5fac74d8e7924e169afdc01105235324" default="false" />

   
    
    
   
   
   
4. The change in step 4 will force the map to use the basemap configured in the <bm> node, therefore, administrators must make sure that a valid map is populated in this field. An example is shown below:
   
   
   

   
   <bm key="default">http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer</bm>

   
   
   
   Note that the "key" field needs to be set to "default" as shown above. 
   BaseMaps and the rest of the On-Premise Configuration is mentioned in KB45324 "What are the prerequisites to use the ESRI Map Widget with the ESRI sample server in MicroStrategy Web 9.4.0 or earlier versions" 
    
   

IMPORTANT NOTE: The available features of Cloud Maps and On-Premise Maps are different as mentioned in KB46614 "Summary of ESRI and Google Map integration feature list in MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise 9.4.1 Hotfix 2." . Additionally, attribute mode is not available in the On-Premise configuration as mentioned in KB46354 "Attribute mode is not available in the ESRI Map widget or visualization when Cloud Maps are disabled in MicroStrategy 9.4.1 HF2 ".
